Legacy Defined

3 more Miles Down----->> 301 to go

Yesterday I met a Gideon Member out of the Brookings, SD area. I asked him for information on how to join.
Why?
2 reasons
I was a sophomore in High School, i left school and headed to work and as i was leacing i was handing a bright orange pocket size new testament. I placed it on my front seat. I turned the corner and headed down the road and as i drove i watched as the Word of God was thrown out the window, pages strewn about and orange and green books were scattered across the road. My heart broke. And my frustration built as something that i respected and needed to live was destroyed by selfishness.
it was a visual respresentation of arrogance and defiance of what His word said --->>John 8:31-32
I can make a difference, i choose patience not tolerance

My Father In Law is a Gideon
His lasting impression for me is tied directly to his Faith, patience and understanding that He is here for no other purpose than to Honor the Lord. Simple.

The boys are becoming 'brothers' 'teammates' 'support systems' They are relying on each other, they exist with each other not individually, not seperately. Oakley leads and guides Callahan, both good and bad. He is a role model for Cal, my goal becomes to allow the guidance and adjust and direct when needed.

I cant help remind Oakley that you get one chance at this, one shot, dont screw it up because you wont always get second chances. Ephesians 4:31
